David A Wood PMP - Brief career history

Aug/2016

Re-branding Merlin substantially completed.

1988 - 2016

Various senior roles and responsibilities, NZ, UK, Europe and Australia some with international responsibilities. Clients included IBM.

1986 - 1988

Requirements definition and design work started for the IBIS payroll/HR system. System developed on dual IBM S/38s hosted by the first clients, Auckland Milk Corporation and New Zealand Wire Industries in Auckland, New Zealand. Due to legislative changes in New Zealand, the PAYG/Income Tax regime was substantially changed by the government as a result of the introduction of Goods & Services Tax (GST) effective from early October 1986. Powercorp purchased the rights to the system in 1988/1989 and renamed it PayPak/400, this became the first native IBM AS/400 package in New Zealand (we believe).
